I've been hearing all this talk of the Cowboys trading up to get D. McFadden. What do you guys think if he falls to #5, and the Cowboys offer both of their 1st round picks for the Chiefs pick? I don't really think there's much of a chance of it happening, but I can hope. Oh we signed someone else today, a big name WR .....Devard Darling...? That's all right with me, I kinda like not throwing away money on 30+ year old never was's like they have in the past.

Here is a cynical question. What makes you think they wont fuck those picks up, if they got them? At least if they stay at 5, the quality of player left will make it less likely he will be a bust.

Well, they screwed up in 2002(I think) drafting Sims at #6, so they are certainly capable of screwing #5. I don't know, that would give them 3 picks in the top 36 picks overall. It would be hard to miss completely on all of them.

Yeah, Sims was a bad pick. I guess I am scared they will fuck up no matter what they do.

If they don't trade down or have OT Long available, they almost have to reach for the next best OT. Just because they pick that guy at 5 doesn't mean it's less likely to be a bad pick. It would be too high for him, but they would almost have no choice because they need help on the O-Line that bad.

I disagree. I think they need to take the best available player if a trade is not available. They cannot take the next best OT if he doesnt belong at the 5 spot.

I agree with you here, the OT position is deep this year, and I think the caliber of player at 36 is going to be pretty comparable to whoever they would be reaching for at 5. That's mainly why I think trading down is a good option, because OT is so deep.Edit: SuitedAces, I want to thank your Huskers for ending a miserable basketball season for my Tigers tonight.

Apparantly Jared Allen is shopping himself around for a possible trade. It seems as though most fans are upset about it around KC, and I understand their frustration but I really don't mind. If the Chiefs don't trade him, and he plays this year, then refuses to re-sign (I think this is his last year, yes?), then they won't get anything for him anyway, so might as well get some quality draft picks for him. Carl must really be an asshole.

Yep. No more calf roping celebrations in KC. Hopefully the picks they acquired for him end up paying off, for a change. I'm new to this thread, so I'm not sure if this has been discussed or not, but what's everyone's thoughts on Croyle as QB? I know he's still young, but imo we already need to go in another direction. He's DEFINATELY not the future of this franchise....at least to me.Edit: Ok, I just read through the 1st page so I'm all caught up now. I agree with the poster who said Croyle is a 2nd-rate SEC QB. As a big Florida Gator football fan, I've watched alot of SEC football over the past 10-12 years and he didn't impress me in college. His wife is major hot in her local car dealership commercials, so keep him around as a back-up.

Who do you think we should take at #5 overall, being if they're available? Matt Ryan? Trade down and try to get Ryan Clady around 10ish?

I'm starting to really think that Matt Ryan is going to be the pick if he's there, and then and OT/DE at 17, OT/CB/DE at 35. I wouldn't be really disappointed if they did trade down to get the 2nd best OT at "10ish," although the hot talk is that the Ravens at #8 are the most likely to want to trade up.I am OK with the Allen trade, in fact I think the Chiefs got way the better side with 3 top 85 picks.
